Using Vinyl Motion Deluxe With Your Computer

Recording

To record music to your computer, you can use ION EZ Vinyl/Tape Converter. EZ Vinyl/Tape Converter,

ionaudio.com/ezvc, conveniently saves your recordings to your computer. After you finish converting your

vinyl, you can then burn to CD or load onto portable media devices.

To install the software, insert the included CD into your computer, and follow the on-screen instructions.

1. With EZ Vinyl/Tape Converter installed on your computer, use the included USB cable to connect Vinyl

Motion Deluxe's USB port to an available USB port on your computer.

2. On your computer, you can open EZ Vinyl/Tape Converter by going to Start Menu  All Programs

(Windows) or the Applications menu (Mac).

3. Follow the on-screen instructions to set up your recording. When prompted to play your music, move

Vinyl Motion Deluxe's tonearm over the record to start playback.

Note: To listen to a record while it’s playing, listen through your computer's speakers, or connect Vinyl

Motion Deluxe's RCA outputs to a stereo system or powered speakers. Do not connect them to phono-

level inputs; Vinyl Motion Deluxe's RCA outputs are line-level and could damage a device with phono-

level inputs.

4. When you have finished recording, raise Vinyl Motion Deluxe's tonearm from the record and return it to

its arm clip.

Visit ionaudio.com/computer-optimization for more information on optimizing your computer for audio.

Playback

There are 3 ways to listen to your vinyl records with Vinyl Motion Deluxe:

1. You can simply listen to your music using Vinyl Motion Deluxe’s internal speakers.

2. If you prefer to use your own stereo speakers, you can connect Vinyl Motion Deluxe's RCA outputs to a

stereo system or to powered speakers. Do not connect them to phono-level inputs; Vinyl Motion Deluxe's

RCA outputs are line-level and could damage a device with phono-level inputs. (Any other standard input

type, such as CD, Aux In, or Tape is acceptable).

3. You can listen through your computer speakers or with headphones connected to your computer, once

your computer soundcard’s input device has been set to USB PnP Audio Device or USB Audio Device,

depending on your Windows operating system (USB PnP Audio Device on Mac OS X) and that you are

record-monitoring the audio using EZ Vinyl/Tape Converter or similar software (Vinyl Motion Deluxe

cannot be used as a playback device for your computer's audio.). See the section Setting Your

Computer’s Soundcard as the Default Playback Device for details on how to configure sound playback.

Troubleshooting

If you experience any difficulties, please refer to the troubleshooting steps below as well as those in

the EZ Vinyl/Tape Converter manual included with this product.

If you are recording to a computer:

o Make sure that Vinyl Motion Deluxe is powered on and that the needle is on the record.

o Make sure Vinyl Motion Deluxe is selected as your computer's default recording device (see the

instructions below).

o If you are listening through your computer's speakers, make sure those speakers are selected as

your computer's default playback device (see the instructions below). Alternatively, you could

connect Vinyl Motion Deluxe's RCA outputs to a stereo system or powered speakers. Do not

connect them to phono-level inputs; Vinyl Motion Deluxe's RCA outputs are line-level and could

damage a device with phono-level inputs.

(Note: The RCA outputs monitor the signal coming out of the turntable, not the signal coming

from your computer.)

o Disconnect then reconnect the USB cable connecting Vinyl Motion Deluxe to your computer.

I'm not hearing any audio when playing music:

• If you are playing music from vinyl:

o Make sure that Vinyl Motion Deluxe is powered on and that the needle is on the record.

o Connect Vinyl Motion Deluxe's RCA outputs to a stereo system or powered speakers. (Do not

connect them to phono-level inputs; Vinyl Motion Deluxe's RCA outputs are line-level and could

damage a device with phono-level inputs.)

• If you are playing music from your computer:

o Make sure your software music player's volume is turned up.

o Make sure your computer's volume is turned up.

o Make sure your computer's speakers are selected as your computer's default playback device

(see the instructions below). (Vinyl Motion Deluxe cannot be used as a playback device for your

computer's audio.)

I am hearing a hum through my speaker or laptop when using the turntable:

• If you are recording to a laptop:

o Please connect the laptop to a grounded power supply (3 prong)

• If you are playing through a speaker:

o Please connect to a grounded (3 prong) power supply.

My record is not playing at the correct speed; its pitch is too high or too low:

o Ensure the 33 / 45 / 78 switch is set to the correct speed for your record.

My record is hitting the edge of the top cover:

o Use a slipmat at all times to raise your records high enough to clear the top cover.
